The rookie safety was the man responsible for Sidney Rice’s game-winning 46-yard touchdown catch that gave the Seattle Seahawks a 24-23 win over the New England Patriots Sunday. After the game, he told reporters that the play was on him.

“You’ve got to make a play when you need to make it, and I didn’t,” he said. “I got beat. I accept that. We were in simple coverage and he made the play and I didn’t.”

It was just one of many big plays the Patriots surrendered during the loss. Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, who had 74 of his 125 attempts travel nine or few yards through the air entering action, had six passes of 20 or more yards, including completions of 51, 50 and 46.

The Patriots have now given up 33 plays of 20 or more yards. The Redskins are second with 26 such plays.

Those problems may be further exacerbated with Patrick Chung leaving Sunday’s game in the fourth quarter with a shoulder injury. His partner at safety, Steve Gregory, is already out with a hip injury.

Those issues have led to a high level of frustration throughout the defense.

"I'm very frustrated," defensive tackle Vince Wilfork said. "I'm not going to sit here and lie to you and say I'm not. I'm very frustrated. I don't know what else to say. I'd probably lose my head right now, but [I'm] very frustrated. We just didn't make enough plays when it counted, and it cost us."
